1906-1907 McMahon Deaths in Kilrush

These were transcribed by me from the General Index Deaths Registered in Ireland filmstrip.

Our direct ancestor is Michael, reported in the 2nd Quarter of 1907 (I think).

Any of the others look familiar?

Joseph McMahon and Ella Small

Patrolman Joseph McMahon (NYPD) and his wife Ella Small.

Mulluny / Blunny / O Mullunaig

The spelling of name varied - Mulluny Muluny Mulluney and Mullaney - there are mulla neys in that area. Kilrush at that time had English/British admins. and as Tom and Bridget spoke Irish - no schools - so didn't read or write - Tom was Tomas O Mullunaig - pronounced Vulluny - accent on M gave it a V sound and accent on I at end -a silent g gave it a y sound - letters y or v are not in Irish alphabet. So when their children were registered at birth - various spellings used. Registrar thought he heard a 'B' sound and put down Blunny, Blunney and Blunnie.
